DELEGATIONS
Mr. Peter Heffernan, Ontario Hydro re: Energy Audit
rogram
Mr. Heffernan communicated Hydro's viewpoint that it is less expensive to
convince consumers to reduce Hydro consumption than to build new generating
facilities. In addition, this approach is better for the environment.
Accordingly, one of the programs Hydro has de vel oped i nvo 1 ves a free audit
of energy consumption in municipal facilities in order to suggest
improvements that may reduce a munici pa 1 ity 's operating costs. He then
requested Council to permit Ontario Hydro to conduct such an audit in the
Town of Aurora.

Mr. Garb Templeton, Templeton -Lepek Limited re:

Residential Development, 19 Ross Street, Aurora
At this point in the meeting Councillor McKenzie declared a possible
Conflict of Interest by virtue of ownership of land in the vicinity and did
not take part in or vote on any questions in this regard, or attempt in any
way to influence the voting on such questions.
Mr. Templeton, the Planner for the Corporation, provided an overview of a
Planning Application submitted recently to construct a non-profit
co-operative housing project having five storeys on 1.3 acres fronting at
Ross Street. He noted that his client had recently purchased these lands
and that this Application, which involved 78 units, was to supersede earlier
applications filed by the prior owner. He pointed out that the proposal
would be close to the GO Station and close to all Town amenities. He
indicated that the proposed Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the
new Official Plan proposed b.Y the Town. In his opinion the proposal will be
compatible with adjacent land uses. ·
Mr. Jaffary, so 1 i citor for the app 1 i cant, noted that there will be between
98 and 100 parking spaces located above and below ground and that 31.5% lot
coverage is being requested. He asked Council to expedite the proposed
Official Plan amendment in order that the applicant may be in a position to
receive allocation of Pro vi nci a l funding for the non-profit co-operative
this fall and possibly build within this calendar year. In response to
questions from Council he suggested that traffic from the proposal will not
present a problem.

Bajohn Developments Limited re: Forest Heights Subdivision Agreement
Ron Starr a representative of the developer, addressed the Recommendation in
Report #BA92-013-213. He indicated that he has purchasers who wish to have
dwellings constructed with different exterior facades and elevations, based
on identical home models. The subdivision agreement requires no two
adjacent houses to be "similar" in model type. He presented Council with
photos of similar model types which he suggested are rendered dissimilar by
virtue of variations to exterior facade, brick colours and landscaping. He
asked Council to permit construction of such homes, possibly through the
efforts of staff in reviewing the plans to ensure that these are not too
"similar". He pointed out that the purchasers and some existing residents
are aware of this problem and would also be satisfied provided the homes are
not too similar in style.
#367 Moved by Councillor Jones Seconded by Councillor Pedersen
THAT the request be referred for consideration along with Report
BA92-013-213.

certain reports prior to June 30. Planning, transportation, en vi ronmenta 1
and engineering reports will be provided by that date; however, the market
report, started by their Consultant, cannot be finished prior to September
because this Consultant has been caught up in Hearings in Barrie.
Accordingly, he wished to indicate to Council that every effort will be made
by the deve 1 oper, given these constraints, to satisfy the requests of the
Committee.
At this point in the meeting Councillor McKenzie declared a possible
Conflict of Interest due to ownership of land in the vicinity and did not
take part in or vote on any questions in this regard or attempt in any way
